    The way to win against Trump is by playing the positive message of the past week, and then destroying him personally. He is a narcissist, and the best way to beat him is to break him. He will literally lose his mind (which already appears to be happening) because he’s not used to the rigor of a campaign (he took last week off from campaigning)! I truly hope they destroy him so badly he slips into a deep depression and falls off the face of the earth.

    And, if he does snap - I wouldn’t be surprised if he quits by mid/end of September. Remember, losing would “hurt” his brand.

      In the same interview he told George that he’s running a “beautiful” and “perfect” campaign. He said that they will “write books about my campaign!” Right, Donald, but not for the reasons you think.

      He is straight up delusional.

      Right, but the people who are voting for Trump don’t care about any of this. They don’t care when he flip-flops, they don’t care that most of his businesses are failures, that he and his daughter manufacture shit in China and that he’s a narcissistic liar. They wouldn’t care if he had a meltdown. Shit, he has five a week and no one cares.

      The common thread among his supports is fear. So play off that. Their cognitive negativity bias means that we should make Trump’s Russian relationships and his lack of foreign experience as scary as possible to them. The left needs some InfoWars style conspiracy memes. We should start infiltrating the minds of his supporters with Facebook posts like; “Well, here’s a photo of Manafort cashing a check with Putin’s name on it. Trump is a lizard robot and once elected he’s going to build a secret tunnel from the White House to the Kremlin and let all the Russians steal our Netflixs passwords. Then your Netflix queue is gonna get all messed up and the only thing you’ll be able to watch is the third seasons of Friends and documentaries on bears.”

      Donald Trump has no relationship with Paul Manafort. He said some very nice things about Trump, but he has no relationship with him.

    So Trump’s official position is that his election will create an alternate timeline in which Russia has not already invaded and annexed part of Ukraine’s territory. Or does his statement run on the logic that Crimea is not part of Ukraine? That is already a pretty major concession to Putin.

    Most importantly: what does this alternate timeline mean for Trek continuity? Is planet Vulcan coming back?

      That statement is a perfect example of a Republican talking point. No substance, because his supporters are too stupid to realize he is rambling, but just “OBAMA!”

    So, Donald already made a deal with Putin that Putin can keep Crimea but cannot go to Kiev. Has he disclosed any secret negotiations he’s had in regards to Lvov?

      Your username is so fitting. This, if nothing else [talk about building a wall, deporting undocumented workers, not letting in Syrian refugees and other refugees from the Middle East and North Africa and Southeast Asia, etc etc etc] shows that Trump will 100% start a nuclear war.

      As far as negotiating with Putin, it’s funny that Trump thinks he can do it! Obama and Hillary both negotiated with him and Putin failed to do his part, big time. He can’t be trusted and neither can Trump. We need Hillary to win so bad.

    I remember when there was a ton of concern that Palin was one old person’s death away from being President and that was terrifying. Now we have an individual with a similar IQ and foreign policy knowledge on the top of the goddam ticket.

      And an extreme right-winger as VP in case Trump decides to “step down” because, in his mind, the country is now all fixed and America can’t possibly get greater....not quitting, mind you.

      Beat me to it. It isn’t JUST that Trump is pretty much Palin with a few extra dollars resting precariously on a Ponzi scheme- it’s that the next guy in line is a crazy right-wing shit-stain moron who has made it EXTREMELY clear that he will be attempting to enact policies that will make a Televangelist’s mouth water and appoint justices to the SC that make Scalia look like RBG the second Trump inevitably abdicates his position.

    All my fellow Real Housewife fans know that Trump is in need of the “Reunion” treatment. Sit him on the couch, have Andy ask him questions about things he has said, and when he denies it, roll the fucking tapes back so everyone at home can laugh at his stupidity.

      I am sure he was just referencing the fact that Khrushchev gifted Ukraine the historically Russian region to Ukraine to make up for the famines of the 1930s. Because Donald Trump is so smart, you can’t even believe it.

        If I had a lowly nickel for most anyone to pinpoint Benghazi or even Lybia, you know that country that's referenced in your national anthem, on a map I'd probably be able to buy a Mercedes.
